    Tablet Buying

    QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 20, 2012 -> 02:49 PM) This thread motivated me. Apparently with the latest OS update, the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is an incredible steal at that price. Done. I'll probably upgrade it from Ice Cream Sandwich to Jelly Bean upon it's arrival. I'm starting to lean that direction too. I can see the positives with the Nexus 10 over the Galaxy Tab 2...but the price paid for the extras is something I don't have. I think I would need the 10" monitor to really like the device, so I'd rather pay $300 for Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 than $200 for Nexus 7. I think. Anyone hear about any crazy Black Friday deals?

    QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 20, 2012 -> 12:03 AM) The Nexus 10 is the best 10" Android tablet you can buy. The screen is ridiculous, it's vanilla Android, and it will get updated first. No Touchwiz crap, no waiting on Samsung. Did I mention it has the fastest non A-50 series ARM chip on the planet? That $100 is well spent. Unfortunately, its a 100 I don't think I have Should I look at getting a better 7 you think or one of these ~300 10" ones?

    So why not this: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-1...0838&sr=1-5 compared to the Nexus 10 at 100 dollars more?

    Tablet Buying

    So I was thinking about e-readers in the Book Thread and I got this recommendation from Steve: QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 16, 2012 -> 09:28 AM) Here's the deal. Nook Tablet HD gives you the ability to expand storage, Kindle Fire HD is out of the box easier to install any app. I've had my original Nook Tablet for 11 months now, and still use it every day. It's great. That being said, the competition in the "smaller tablet" has exploded. If I were shopping today, I'd be looking at the Nexus 7 or 10 (probably 10, I love to use my Nook at the gym and stream HBO Go, Amazon Prime Instant Video, or Netflix and just watch shows. Makes burning the calories no big deal. Then just download the kindle app or the nook app and read your books as if it were a Fire or Nook. No real reason to not get something that out of the box opens you up to the Google Play Market. I like the price of Nexus 7....but of course I love the look and feel of the 10. I can't tell if it's a waste to get something the size of the 7 when I already have an iPhone. Meh. Any suggestions? Are there other products I should consider?

    2012 Book Thread

    QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 02:08 PM) I just finished "Colonial Roosevelt" by Edmund Morris, which was a great book. I learned a ton about the guy. http://www.amazon.com/Colonel-Roosevelt-Ed...s/dp/0375757074 I read "Theodore Roosevelt and the Idea of Race" and I have to say it would be hard for me to see him in a completely positive light at this point. Beyond anything else, the guy was just crazy.
  8. The part that made the least sense was him running straight backwards as soon as he caught it like it was designed that way
  9. QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 09:25 PM) haha Bears decided to look at 49ers game tape and run their offense now. I'm fine with it. We're under this illusion that the 49ers have a good line when they actually just have a great coach.
  10. Have to give Kaepernick some credit, the only inaccurate pass he's thrown turned into their longest play to Manningham
  11. QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 09:21 PM) We have no idea how to scheme against this kind of play calling Worth mentioning the defense has been on the field the entire game

  13. QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 08:55 PM) To be fair, the Bears have drafted 2 OL in the first round in the last 5 years. They just suck at drafting in the first round and Williams was a f***ing disaster and Carimi has followed suit so far. With that said, Carimi at LT sounds a lot better than Webb at this point
  14. QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 08:53 PM) When you have terrible play calling, everything looks bad. Even if your OL sucks, you dont just quit and run terrible plays. You come up with ways to get around that. Exactly
  15. QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 08:50 PM) You mean snap the ball, every OL step to the left and allow the DL to crush the QB. Is that really a play call. You see what SF does? Fullbacks, tight ends ooo ahhh
  16. QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 08:49 PM) These routes need to be much faster and shorter, Campbell has no time to throw. Don't tell Tice, he wants to score 20 points per play until it is 2nd/3rd and long and he wants to run the ball.
  17. Honestly -- can you discern a difference in play calling between Martz and Tice?
